Just in: Five victims, three suspects in alleged Abilene boot camp abuses

Five victims and three suspects have been determined in alleged abuses at Reality Invasion Boot Camp, said Police Chief Stan Standridge at a news conference Friday afternoon.

The Abilene boot camp, Reality Invasion Boot Camp, was accused by police early this week of injuring children with electronic stuns and restraining devices.

Volunteer drill sergeants with Reality Invasion, which has operated as a nonprofit in Abilene for four years, is the subject of the investigation, he said.

The founder and CEO of the boot camp for wayward children confirmed earlier this week that the organization is the subject of the probe. No arrests have been made.

The youngest victim is reported to be 4 years old.

On Jan. 4, Abilene police received a check welfare call regarding a 14-year-old girl who was reportedly shocked with a stun gun by boot camp volunteers.

After becoming aware of the allegations, police interviewed potential victims and suspects. Interviews led police to believe the 14-year-old victim was shocked on three separate occasions, twice while not performing outdoor exercises to drill sergeants' specifications and once in her home for not properly cleaning her room.

Standridge said the case has been presented to the Taylor County District Attorney's Office for further review.
